Bill creates deadlines to streamline investigations & authorizes DOJ to fine NCAA up to $15M & remove Board of Governors members if deadlines aren’t met.
The bill:
- requires NCAA investigations to be complete in 8 months
- prohibits NCAA punishing schools for violations 2+ yrs old
- prohibits NCAA using “confidential sources” for decisions
- requires NCAA to submit annual reports to the US Attorney General
Bill introduced by U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn (R., Tenn.) and Cory Booker (D., N.J.)
(stole most of the above from reddit)
regardless of your politics, those 2 sponsoring it is interesting. couldn't be much more polar opposite. maybe it will get some support from both parties?
haven't put a lot of thought into it, but generally i think i'd welcome those changes.
-
with all the problems this country has I somewhat amazed this has risen to such a level of importance
-
Blackburn was almost named the president of UT knoxville.. she's heavily connected to the school. UT is in middle of investigation... her sponsoring the bill makes sense.
-
Without subpoena power I'm not sure the NCAA can exude much power let alone efficiency and im not about to be an apologist for the NCAA.
The beatings will continue until morale improves is what this says.
-
I don't trust this at all.
-
With NIL, only Memphis (and I presume eventually Auburn), can figure out how to still break NCAA rules
-
yeah, with all the actual problems we have going on in this country, this is what US senators should totally be focused on.
I guess when you can't actually do anything meaningful or significant- you have to resort to bullshit, meaningless and insignificant things.
-
If these changes made sense, it would be prudent to simply ask the NCAA to make them. They might, especially if these make sense.
If they don't make sense ....
I'd guess the NCAA knows more about the topic than the Senate.
-
since when has the ncaa ever done anything that made sense? given the option, i'd wager the ncaa would take the opposite approach from any sensible suggestion.
or, rather, much like fifa and the ioc, whatever is most corrupt option.

In a contest between the NCAA and Congress making sense, I would favor the NCAA. Slightly.
The NCAA is just the universities collectively relating to sports to set rules etc. In theory it's a good system, but like all collectives comprised of humans, it's inefficient and ineffective. I don't know how else one could do it without something akin to the NCAA.
